Panthers coach John Fox called up his trusted veterans Wednesday to spread his message that the team has more work to do. Here's a look at who was listening:

QB Jake Delhomme, FB Brad Hoover, WR Muhsin Muhammad, LT Jordan Gross, TE Jeff King, DE Julius Peppers, DT Damione Lewis, LBs Jon Beason and Na'il Diggs, SS Chris Harris and P Jason Baker.

CHARLOTTE -- As fine a piece of cinema as it was, the Carolina Panthers haven't watched the film from Monday's win over Tampa Bay.

In part, it's because, in a short week, they don't have the time. They're too busy getting ready for Denver.

But there's also a mandate from above at work, with Panthers coach John Fox putting out the word he doesn't want his team peaking with that one -- no matter how good.

Fox called up the elders after practice Wednesday, an 11-player huddle which lasted a good 10 minutes after the rest of the team was headed back to the locker room.

He wouldn't elaborate on the conversation -- "That'd be a negative," he replied when asked to share, "that's why it was over there."

Out of the three remaining games, the Denver is probably the most important. After such a big win, agaisnt a division rival, and on Monday night, how the Panthers preform this Sunday will show just how good this team is right now. If they can come out on Sunday and play at the same level as they did Monday this team is going to be able to far into the playoffs. While the Tampa game may have been more important as far playoffs and division standings go, this game is the real Manhood test.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
